“Authoritarianism” is a buzzword used by people who think that a government which does anything beyond letting itself get railed by corporations is overreaching, come up with better material

Jesus fucking Christ even a majority of the anglosphere is opposing Isntrael

huh interesting, where have I heard this type of policy suggested before

But Palestinians aren’t rich or light skinned enough for our international law-abiding, democratic, humanitarian government to consider fully human so it’s all good

Il y’a beaucoup de gens ici qui se moquent de l’autrice, mais en sa défense, c’est difficile d’écrire quelque chose qui a de l’allure sur le monde contemporain si t’es trop occupé à sucer Arnault pour observer ce qui s’y passe de temps en temps

The anthropologist Sarah Blaffer Hrdy has theorized that empathy and altruism are acquired in early childhood by observing when one’s caretakers show empathy towards oneself, which both gives infants a sense of security in interacting with other people and which, because babies learn through observation and pattern recognition, establishes a standard in their minds that tells them humans are supposed to be selfless and kind to one another. This theory is relevant to us because, since most of us live in decaying neoliberal hellholes, many people’s parents are too busy working to give them appropriate care during their formative years and are not rich enough to pay for people who are qualified to do so in their stead. When it comes to people whose parents are rich, the selfishness that lead to them accumulating wealth could get passed on to their children by the same method. In other words, the conditions created by capitalism could be fucking with the ability of infants to become good people later in life

What the fuck I thought Christopher Hitchens died

Why did you immediately jump to the conclusion that these kids aren’t wearing their abayas voluntarily?

Hell yeah we love dictatorships of the proletariat

Don’t worry about having to work 30 hours a day at the sisyphean torture factory to be able to afford your ten square foot apartment Jack, look at what’s going on in China! A sexpat YouTuber who got kicked out of the country says their economy will collapse any minute now! Don’t trust any of the actual data on China’s economy, you can’t fall for those [REDACTED] and their tricks, Jack! They’re weak even though we say they’re strong! THEY’RE WEAK EVEN THOUGH WE SAY THEY’RE STRONG!
